Brewer's: Auld Hornie

After the establishment of Christianity, the heathen deities were degraded by the Church into fallen angels; and Pan, with his horns, crooked nose, goat's beard, pointed ears, and goats' feet, was transformed to his Satanic majesty, and called Old Horny.

O thou, whatever title suit thee, Auld Hornie, Satan, Nick, or Clootie.

Burns.
